Resumen

In 2014, Spain made a submission to the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS or Commission) for the area to the west of the Canary Islands. The submission anticipated potential overlaps with neighbouring territories, namely, Portugal and Western Sahara. Pending consideration by the CLCS, Madrid shifted its policy towards the dispute in Western Sahara in 2022. The historic stance change may strip away the rules of the game for the extension, subject always to check and balances beyond its technical nature.
